Norway: village kindergarten and magic forest

To bookmarks

Usually people go to Norway to enjoy nature, but on the contrary, I never cease to admire the city structure, architecture, roads, public spaces. This is where urban urban wonders are found only in large cities, and Norway, even in the most remote village, has something to surprise you with and show. Yesterday I showed you what a Norwegian village school looks like, and now, on the way to the magic forest, I saw a kindergarten. Yes, such that I wanted to become a child again.
01. In the morning, gaps appeared in the sky, and the sun came out!

02. You can not even imagine what happiness it is, after two days of endless rain

03. Everything immediately changed, caught fire and flourished

11. This is an island near the village of Jorpeland, a popular family recreation area.In addition to walking paths, which stretch for 2 km, there are boat piers, swimming places and a golf course.

12. Look, there are no vacant lots and benches with urns - nature and neat walking paths.

13. It is not even necessary to invest millions in such improvement, it is enough just to maintain the natural beauty.

14. Are sheep or goats grazing on the island? How to distinguish them?

15. What's cool in Norway is that there are places for picnics everywhere. Are you going to the park or going to the sights - there will be tables, places for fire, urns. Here is this grill in the park, near the red urn for coals.

16. Has a shelter option in case of rain.

17. Such sites are equipped in the most picturesque places, and most importantly - there is always perfect clean

18. Rest area near the road

21. Village

22. Water house

23. At the entrance to the supermarket there is a collection point for bottles, lamps, and batteries. Everything surrenders and is recycled. Norwegians are very confused on ecology.

24. Well, and, of course, gas stations for electric cars.

25. Road

26. And here is your kindergarten! Plain village, new kindergarten.

27. One-story black building

28. With bright accents

The architecture is absolutely simple.This is how the building looked like during construction. The usual wooden facade, which is later stylishly painted:

29. Kindergarten is called Årdal - as the commune in which it is located. It was built on the site of an old kindergarten near the elementary school and the church. The architects are the Norwegian bureau Faber Bygg AS.

There are no photos of the finished interior, but it is clear that it continues the exterior design of the building:

30. Of course, in the kindergarten there will also be a grill! And how without it? Every person should have the right to fry sausages or steak on the fire.

31. Children's playground for the little ones

32. We have such sites can be found in the new good parks of Moscow or Kazan. In Norway, this is an ordinary wilderness village.

33. How do you?

34. Playground for those who are older

35. Base for training NATO soldiers

36. And this is the magical forest of Eventyrskogen, which is just nearby, near the commune of Ordal.

37. What do you think, why is it called magic? The whole thing here is in such wooden figurines of fairy-tale characters, which can be found here. There are about 40 of them.

38. The forest was incredibly beautiful. It is located on a hill from which dozens of streams flow down. They constantly change the channel and flow right between the trees.

39. You walk between the moss-covered firs, and streams of pure water rush from the mountains on all sides.

41.

42. Excellent walking route with minimal human intervention. Most likely, you did not even notice this protective mesh between the trees

43. The journey takes about an hour, the track length is 1.2 km. There are places equipped for picnic and recreation.

44. The landscape is constantly changing.

45. Like relief

46. ​​A truly magical place!

49. But it's time to go on!

50. In Norway, several times had to take ferries. They cost about 6 euros per person. Payment either in advance or on the ferry is suitable girl with the terminal. For all the time that I am in the country, cash was never useful to me. All from the card! I don't even know what the Norwegian crowns look like, but why?

51.

52. And in Norway, insanely beautiful roads

53.

57. And finally, another amazing story about how, in such a remote area, a fashionable architectural bureau built a steep bridge for residents to make it easier for them to go for a walk in the forest.

58. This is the Heyo pedestrian bridge that connects the Sann settlement with the forest. This forest has always been a popular walking place, but people had to get there for a long time.

59. Therefore, the architectural bureau Rintala Eggertsson Arkitekter designed a bridge for residents. Back in 2008, the architects held a discussion and found out the opinion of the tenants about the kind of crossing they would like to see.

60. Part of the wishes taken into account.The bridge was made of corten panels and steel gratings. From the side of the forest we have provided a concrete pavilion where you can relax or have a snack. The architects deliberately diluted the natural landscape with such a clear horizontal line.

61. And in the center of the bridge, they arranged an acoustic space where you can enjoy the flow of the river - the walls in this place were made of impermeable steel sheets, so that the sound is reflected, and the floor is grated. Beauty!
